Today started with me heading back to my hometown (Dallas) to give the keynote speech at the Association of Fundraising Professionals National Conference.

The audience was full of people who dedicate their lives to raising money for so many great causes and I was honored to share my story with them.

Kill Cancer

Yesterday LAF President, Doug Ulman, spoke at a kick off event for Kill Cancer. Kill Cancer is a Texas initiative that would bring $3 billion in cancer-related funds to the state of Texas.
